Himalayan Black Tea – Selected Buds 70g Premium Sikkim Tea
Rural Empowerment
We collaborate with rural communities where craftsmanship remains a living tradition. The weaving work provides women and families with a stable source of income within their own villages, reducing the need to migrate toward large cities.
By supporting manual production, we help preserve skills, independence, and dignity. Each garment becomes part of a relationship between people, place, and time, rather than a simple object of consumption.
Sustainability
Our approach is based on continuity rather than innovation for its own sake. Traditional techniques, handlooms, minimal mechanical intervention, and natural processes, reduce energy consumption and avoid unnecessary chemical treatments.
Slowness becomes a form of sustainability: producing only what is needed, respecting materials, and allowing time to be part of the process.
Ecological Impact
We strive to minimize ecological impact by adopting methods that interfere as little as possible with the natural environment. Manual production limits resource consumption, reduces pollution, and keeps the production scale aligned with the capacity of the surrounding ecosystem.
Affordability
Fairness is fundamental to us. Our products are priced in respect of both the people who make them and those who choose them. We seek a balance where craftsmanship is valued while keeping objects made with care, honesty, and responsibility accessible.
The Himalayan Black Tea – Selected Buds is a premium black tea sourced from the pristine highlands of Eastern Nepal, grown at an altitude of حوالي 2500 meters, near the Everest region. It comes from a very small family-run activity that carefully preserves ancient Himalayan tea traditions.
Only the finest young shoots are handpicked, consisting of two tender leaves and a central bud, following traditional harvesting methods passed down through generations.
After harvesting, the leaves undergo a natural oxidation process that develops their rich color, aroma, and full-bodied character. They are then carefully dried to preserve their freshness and distinctive qualities.
The result is a refined tea with a warm, aromatic profile and a smooth, well-balanced taste—perfect for those who enjoy a rich yet elegant daily infusion.
